Chapter 481 In Life and Death (2/2)
This interference kept growing in intensity, convincing Daniel that his actions were actually having soh hopes until his eyelids closed, and the interference instantly stopped
Confused, Daniel opened his eyes to see why the reaction to his movements had stopped, but now, in the middle of the darkness, were two individuals
The first person was a gentle-looking old woathered in a bun She was sitting on an armchair with no apparent interest in Daniel's presence In her hands were two hooks, and next to her legs was a ball of yarn nize nor understand She was using these ite that would dissipate as soon as she would startman in his late teens with dark brown skin, and very short afro-textured hair He was sitting on the ground a few ether facing her direction He appeared to be waiting for her to finish what she was doing before bothering her Both of these two people had noticed Daniel's presence, as shown by a faint interruption of their actions before going back to what they were doing
Daniel still needed to understand where exactly he was, and these two people were the only two to whom he could ask, so he created a small platform out of his own essence of true immortality, and used it to reach the flat surface on which the two individuals were resting on
The moment his feet landed on the invisible floor, the old lady stopped what she was doing, and turned to look at him ”You should not be here Leave, and take hi her forear man with a tilt of her head
”I don't even knohere 'here' is” Said Daniel with confusion
”You don't look that stupid I aet there on your own” Responded the old lady before once again raising her ar on the odd thread Then, without looking back at Daniel, she added, ”But do it after you get out You don't belong here” As she finished speaking, a portal that led to Daniel's original universe opened right next to hi the portal, Daniel took a step away fro nowhere without my friend She was taken here only a few moments before me Can you help me find her?”
The old lady was clearly annoyed by Daniel's behaviour, and said with the kind of irritation that one would see in a disappointed mother, ”How typical of Destiny's spawn Or whatever it is that you are You always think that you can shape your fate however you want, so you start buzzing around your little universe like you matter more than anybody else But this side of your universe is ot to the end of her point, she turned to look at the youngnext to her, and added, ”That applies for you too”
Daniel finally understood
”You are the aspect of Death” he said with a low tone
The old lady did not respond, and instead, kept doing what she was doing, confir Daniel's suspicions
Daniel did not wait for her to respond before adding, ”And if this is your domain, this oes after they die That must be why I feel so uncoht He currently was in his universe's underworld, a side of his universe which, paired with the physical realm where the body would remain, and the spiritual plain in which the spirit would take refuge, composed the three realms of every universe
The reason why Daniel felt so uncomfortable here was because only the consciousness of an individual was supposed to enter the underworld, and while he felt the sort of comfort that a consciousness was supposed to feel once in the underworld, the other two aspects were out of place, and to bla he had been forced to bear since his arrival
The old lady was not iuess Instead, what , was the fact that Daniel was still refusing to leave
”If you don't give me back my friend, I will stay here, and disturb your real as I live” Said Daniel with a calm and composed tone which successfully relied his sincerity
”Of all the aspects of existence, you threaten Death” h She then turned serious, and asked, ”What ht now?”
Daniel sht, and he is who I think he is, then you can't kill people who can't die of natural deaths” He then said while turning to look at the young man, who had finally taken his presence into consideration, and briefly turned to look back at hiht This youngentity, and he shouldn't have been able to enter the underworld Yet, here he was, sitting respectfully next to Death herself despite her not appreciating his presence Ever since learning that the old lady was the aspect of Death, and that the place where he was noas the underworld of his universe, Daniel had narrowed the young le person And that was the eldest of Iewah's children The owner of the systeer
